Hi

Ive been taking sertraline for 3 and a half weeks now. Felt better, and saw my psychiatrist on Monday. Since then, Ive noticed an increase in palps. My heart is not beating faster, but it is beating stronger and I can constantly feel it. Sometimes I feel it beating in my head, ear, and eyeballs.

I thought all my anxiety symptoms would go away after starting meds, so why am I feeling my heart beat so hard?

Could it be a side effect of the sertraline? Will it go? Or do I need a change of meds?

How long should it be until the meds kick in?

Thanks for reading this - Liz xx
